Alveo U280 Data Accelerator Card - 1.4.1 English

Vitis AI Library User Guide (UG1354)
Document ID
UG1354
Release Date
2021-12-11
Version
1.4.1 English

The Xilinx® Alveo U280 Data Center accelerator cards are peripheral component interconnect express ( PCIe® ) Gen3x16 compliant and Gen4x8 compatible cards featuring the Xilinx 16 nm UltraScale+ technology. In this release, DPU is implemented in program logic for deep learning inference acceleration.

Note: Some models cannot run at the highest frequency of DPU and need DPU frequency reduction. See the For Edge for DPU frequency reduction operation.
